‘A few years ago, French photographer Sacha Goldberger found his 91-year-old Hungarian grandmother Frederika feeling lonely and depressed. To cheer her up, he suggested that they shoot a series of outrageous photographs in unusual costumes, poses, and locations. Grandma reluctantly agreed, but once they got rolling, she couldn’t stop smiling.’

So I ride bikes – I don’t ride them like this though. Which is a real shame as it would make me quite cool and likely highly paid by a caffeine based drink manufacturer to fuck around all day. Bit like this chap:

Its been interesting to watch this thread by Jordan Rapp (a US pro-triathlete) gather momentum over the past couple of days. In summary a chap in the US was the victim of a hit and run accident where he was badly hurt by a driver who knocked him of his bike then drove away. The driver was a well paid money man and the case was being mishandled as a result (money buys favours/power as we all know).

Jordan Rapp was seriously injured in similar circumstances last year so has strong feelings on the subject. As a result he started this twitter thread imploring his ‘followers’ to help raise the profile of the case and its apparent mishandling. The feed is here: http://twitter.com/#!/rappstar and grabs are below.

Good to see its making a difference with US TV news and even the UK Daily Mail picking it up in less that 48hrs. Respect for pro actively making a difference!
